We knew it all from the start
Time wasn't right, we led with our hearts
I gave to you, you gave to me
So easily

You have your life and I've got one too
Now we decide what we need to do

But I'm not walking away broken-hearted
Someday we're gonna finish what we started

Whenever you're ready
Whenever you're ready
Whenever you're ready
Ooh, I'm here

I used to laugh when people would say
"Don't you give up 'til love finds a way"
Now that you're here, it's saying goodbye
I'll have to try

Someday we'll find that all that we've lost
Is nothing but time, it's still worth the cost

One day I know we're gonna start anew, girl
And I've been saving all my best for you

Whenever you're ready
Whenever you're ready
Whenever you're ready
Ooh, I'm here

People can wait all their lives for true love
You know I've been waiting
For somebody sent from above
Until that day, I'm praying

People can wait all their lives for true love
You know I've been waiting
For somebody sent from above
Until that day, I'm praying

Whenever you're ready
Whenever you're ready
Whenever you're ready
Ooh, I'm here

Oh, yes, I am
Yes, I am
Ooh-hoo
Ooh-hoo
I'm here
